title: Persistent mesonephric duct found at laparoscopy for impalpable testis.
abstract: Laparoscopy is an increasingly popular choice for treatment of the impalpable testis. There are many anatomical variants that may be found at operation. We present a case of a 1-year-old boy who presented with an impalpable right testis and absent right kidney, and at laparoscopy was found to have a persistent mesonephric duct. Awareness of this variation allowed for adequate excision and subsequent investigations.
